I tell you whats weird: Your station-name button at times is toggled in/on , but station names aren't displayed, and vice versa . Then other times its normal.... The Rule is this: you can hold down ALT, and then click any combination of first four toggles; This enables or disables their toggling to ...

[16.42] Vanilla Do you mean this? example.gif It is a little weird that the text doesn't spill over into the radar'd area. Especially since it is the proximity of the mouse that triggers patch information to display, ie. the mouse does not need to be directly over the explicit ore-boundary it for i...

This is all going to be revamped in [17.0] anyway.
Read FFF-238.

It's be like worrying about a stray coal on the wrong side of a belt in a giant smelter setup when you're going to bulldoze it all anyway to make room for electric smelters.

Can confirm in Vanilla [16.42] ezgif-3-6dbbd145f6.gif Not game-breaking or terribly important, just something people with OCD might fuss over. (This isn't a personal jab at anyone, just a general statement :D ) Also, the order in which one places the belts is important, and contrary to OP, the "...

I like the idea of using offensive programming because its essentially like using mines to rough-up an incoming wave of biters before turrets finish them off, instead of expecting turrets to deal with full HP behemoths. Essentially, much like a crumple zone in a car, you want the game to crash at ti...

Does the issue persist using a block signal instead of the look-ahead? Or will the left train simply tailgate the other on its path?

Currently not at home, or I'd test this myself.

2. Electrified Rail. [snip] it would add too much "overhead" (read memory usage) to implement. I don't follow. The game already iterates through the rail segments (likely using a much more efficient method than checking every piece) to determine pathways that trains can take. The code is ...

The only "bug" here is perhaps the graphical misallignment of pump-head to tanker-sprite "valve", but as for its behaviour in Manual, this is normal. A cargo-wagon on a Manually set train will open/activate its contents as soon as it is on a perfectly 90° perpendicular straight p...

While this happens to me on occasion, I believe it is something on the server's side that prevents connections from overly laggy sources, bad ping, inconsistent packet connections, etc. More often than not, a server will lag for all players ever so slightly when new players join/when someone saves, ...

Searching forums has not yielded any previous mentions so I figured I'd post it first. Essentially, when fast-replacing with tunnel-belts, attempting to place the output tunnel on a splitter , nothing happens. As you can see by the attachment JPG, it shows a green highlight meaning a legal replace-t...

Version 0.16.41
FEAR NOT, BRETHREN. 'TIS BEEN RESOLVED.

Signals are good again!

Thanks for the speedy hotfix!

Unless you can provide help or details of the issue, do not comment please. I don't quite understand this - are we not to say anything, or have there been instances of messages that were not productive? I'm encountering the exact same thing. As I think others are saying, if you remove and replace e...

Hearing reports from the FMMO community that .40 completely breaks train signals? Anyone confirm? You got that right. Mine are quite literally "on the blink". Wuuuuuuuuubbbe, what did ya fiddle with this time? ^^ EDIT: After reading through this: viewtopic.php?f=7&t=60043 people are a...

Actually, is there a reason there is no "start-game" content? The story essentially follows an engineer that crashlands on an alien planet, and while the single-player story does explore this, there isn't a nice, short, eye-candy crashland sequence of one's ship. Having the debris lying ar...

we seriously need cars to drift :D Holy shit, this has to be the first new-poster suggestion that I could wholly get behind. Momentum in general seems like a hard thing to simulate, so don't expect it to be rolling out soon, but I always found it weird to have trains speeding at 220+km/h around tig...

The filter-splitter buff is amazing and I love it. Can't wait to see it in the next update! This opens up many new ways to use belts not just within factories, but on mixed mining fields too. Love the changes to splitters especially the priority functions. TBH I'd rather have a filter on electric m...

If you want to incentivise Belts, then reintroduce Belt Compression the way it was before, and research that makes belts transport items faster. Removal of established features in the game will not gain much support, and you may find players will stick to legacy-versions of the game, "back when...

It is worth noting that filling an entire Cargo Wagon with 40 sets of 10 barrels is balanced in the sense that you require much more steel to carry that fluid, than you do to carry it with a Fluid Wagon. That steel needs to be mined, smelted, smelted again, and then made into barrels and brought to-...

It arrived! Been refreshing the homepage every hour since 5pm ^^ The FFF at barely 20 minutes to midnight and my Tshirt today! All the work, shirt packing/posting and frantic bugfixing to not only release 0.16 but patches as well have earned you and the team a much deserved christmas break! Factorio...
